I've lost track of the "this" you referred to in your message. If you mean
the postscript cartridge, no. I am familiar with users of it and their
experiences – enough so that I will possibly be getting one soon. As for
font selection, you need packages that work with or supply their owm PS
font metric files. Then you select the font you want from the menu. Most
DTP programs support Postscript. In the vanilla wordpro you are looking at
ProWrite with its postscript add-on module, or excellence! with its
included postscript fonts. (Someone else will have to speak to
WordPerfect.) If you use a stnadard word pro a la scribble! etc you would
end up with the PostScript default font which I believe is Times (or
possibly courier??) Someone with IIP and PS cartridge could anser that for
you.
If you mean the LJP package, yes. Part of it's set of requesters is one to
request which font you want.
